Tips for irritated intimate areas?

Hello,

I seem to have overdone my hygiene a bit lately and according to me and my gynecologist, this has led to a very irritated intimate area, including open sores 😖

He recommended Bepanthen, which I have been applying on my own for a day and a half before my appointment.

I know it will take a while for it to go away, but if I don't put cream on it, I'm in unbelievable pain. It itches because it's healing, and when it's not itching, it burns.

I'll follow his advice, but I really wanted to ask if anyone here has had a similar experience and what else might have helped. I absolutely need to get rid of this pain as quickly as possible. How long did it take for you?

Kind regards and thank you very much
